The US Secretary of State responds to the trilateral peace talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.

“It looks like the talks in Abu Dhabi were very productive. I think the most important thing – obviously, there’s a lot of work to be done in that regard. It’s not like something that’s on the verge of being solved in the next 24 hours or anything like that. But what’s really important is that the Europeans are at the table. They’ll be discussing with our people; they’ve been working very closely with Jared and Steve, who were there on every step along the way. And it’s actually our goal at some point to expand this trilateral, so it’s not just the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, but also that the Europeans be represented at that table directly with these talks.

So hopefully they’ll be – I think they put out a joint statement today with the European partners that are there alongside our team. And obviously, in the days to come, perhaps we can make some progress on including them in that front”, - said Marco Rubio.
